I'm scared of this thing now...
I've sharpened my small Sebenza and the bevel is all scratched, but it is sharper. I'm afraid if I ever have to touch up the edge on my shiny Mnandi it will look terrible! I watched the video that came with it and followed all the instructions. I'm also finding it very difficult to use the flat sides of the stone. The edge doesn't want to stay flat on the stones. I'm afraid that's where I'm going wrong.
Also, I tried sharpening my friend's old Buck folder (dull as anything) and I could hardly get and edge on it. I tried the 30 degree back bevel wth both sets of stones and the 40 degree edge with both. It got sharper, but not nearly what I expected.
Help?
